Hi,

Is there a preference of glue when doing metal to wood?
FWIW I've been doing this for 20+ years, and feel 2 part epoxy is the only
way to go

for titebond or wood glues in general, the idea is to penetrate into the
wood,
using thin coat(s) and clamp with lots of pressure,
so you basically wind up with the wood "stuck" to the wood,

with metal, 'penetration' is not possible, so you want the wood bonded to
one side of the epoxy and the metal bonded to the other, use a wider gap,
less clamp pressure

CA is only good for bonding things that you don't want to stay together
for very long

I've been
highly recommending Tite Bond II as a bond for woodturnings on my
stainless steel bottle stoppers. At the show in NC one of the reps
from another booth said he would use either epoxy or Gorilla glue. I
have never had one of my stoppers come loose using Tite Bond II.

Doesn't Gorilla glue foam up, and doesn't it have a shorter shelf life?
Does all epoxy need to be 2-step and have a short working time?

By the way, I want to thank all of you who stopped by my booth at the
Albany, Ohio or NC show to introduce yourself and it was nice to visit
with some old friends from this group. It really is nice to see
someone you've just "read". : )

Thanks for opinions, suggestions and advice.
